Created from Sophie’s personal experience of trauma, recovery, and ongoing post-traumatic growth; Rising Wisdom is a gentle, holistic, and humanistic space that is trauma-informed and LGBTQ+ friendly, and for anyone seeking to connect more deeply and lovingly with their true self.
As an advanced circle facilitator, Sophie offers both online and in-person women's circles, and ‘Rainbow Circles’ for the LGBTQ+ community. For those seeking a deeper experience, Sophie also offers circle journeys that take place over several weeks or months.
The sacred art of circle comes from ancient practices, where communities would gather in a non-hierarchical circle to share their stories.
Whoever held the ceremonial stick or stone, known as the ‘talking piece’, would have the freedom to share their story uninterrupted.
They would not be offered any advice or guidance; simply given a platform to have their voice heard.
Sharing stories in circle allows us to be witnessed in our word, and as a result we can feel truly heard and gently held in our vulnerability.
Through our storytelling we find connection with one another, foster a sense of community, and connect with our rising wisdom - a wisdom, a truth, a knowing, that inherently knows how to guide us to exactly where we need to be.
